Good evening, Jake and others: (Some extraneous material erased.)
Will pico not work under these circumstances? I find vi(m) a bit intimidating to be honest.
Incidentally I had a go on a friends OSX laptop the other day and was amazed to find pico there (my friend was as amazed). But I guess it's not *that* suprising.

Pico seems to work. The file is altered. It didn't help. Thanx to all who answered. I have not tried gedit, but Kwrite does _not_ work--it comes back with the word "unique" in its error message, and a batch of other dreck. OK, I added "users" to the list in fstab for the floppy drive. I still get "Writing to drives is not supported" when I try to copy a file to a floppy. What's going on here? Do I need to reboot? As in MSWindows? Or is it just not possible to write to a drive in SuSE 9.1? --doug
